Generic report and dataset

Hello,
I am new to SRS. So this is a new-be question.
When creating a new report in visual studio. When creating a new dataset.
Do you always need to create a query string to retrieve the fields that can
be used on the form?
Is there some SQL picker query builder. Where you can build a query by
picking and choosing from all tables?
To help people out?

In the Report Wizard, there is a Generic Query Builder; however, I'm
not sure if that will meet your needs completely. Also, there is a
technology called Linq that is being used in Visual Studio 2008 that
allows this type of functionality; however, I'm not sure if it will be
available in SSRS/Reporting Services 2008. Hope this helps.
